Types of Catalysts in Catalytic Oxidation Catalytic Oxidation is one of the many options you have when looking at air pollution control systems at your facility. Catalysts are used to reduce the oxidation temperature, resulting in lower operating costs through the reduction of fuel needed to heat an air pollution control system.Get more news about Oxide Deoxidizing Catalyst,you can vist our website! As we discussed in our recent blog comparing thermal and catalytic oxidizers, these pollution control abatement systems are designed for specific industries in which a catalyst is employed to reduce the amount of energy needed to oxidize a pollutant. By using a catalytic oxidizer, companies can reduce operating costs and minimize maintenance costs during operation. Most notably used in automotive paint booth exhaust and parts manufacturing, metal decorating, printing, coating, laminating, converting, engineered wood manufacturing, Bakery and Food Processing, Soil Vapor extraction, and pharmaceutical applications, catalytic oxidizers have specific advantages in cost and operation that we discussed in a recent blog. However, when looking at catalytic oxidizers, there are many considerations that go into such a product’s construction and operation. Today, we explore some of the basics in catalytic oxidation, providing a brief look at the options available when you are looking at this type of equipment. Common Metals used as Catalysts for Oxidation Depending on the exhaust streams, different catalysts are used in the oxidation process, but are generally metals used both as catalysts and support for catalysts. Non-Noble Metal Oxides Metal oxides are occasionally used as a catalyst. Cheaper and more resistant to poisoning than precious metal catalysts, they are often less durable and efficient than noble metals. Non-noble metal based catalysts can be either supported or unsupported metal oxides, and are readily available at a low price compared to noble metals. The most commonly used metal-oxide catalysts include copper oxide, manganese dioxide, iron oxide, nickel oxide, chromium oxide, and cobalt oxide, used alone or with the support of clay or Aluminosilicate.
